Look up to the top-right of this page, there should be a yellow button named "submit". Clicking this button will bring up a new page with options on how you want to publish your project.
Let me know if you have other publishing questions.
Some instructions should greatly enhance making an instructable.
This ofcourse is no criticism on you mikeasaurus as you are just trying to help.
I am just frustrated by the fact that I started an instructable, just by following the menu's. I then got to work in a screen that doesn't allow me to 'add' any steps and clicking the "Submit" button, brought me to a completely empty new instructable that had no relation to the one I had saved.
Well cutting and pasting then in the new instructable I guess.
One obviously does need more than an advanced college degree for this
- Copy the Instructable text into a Word document (or Notepad and keep all the html) then paste it back into a new Instructable in the format you want.
- Open a new browser window with the desired Instructable type and copy and paste the content between the windows.
This would be the easiest method to change the Instructable type. Good luck!How do I make 'steps'?
It is the basic of an instructable and I still do not get it
